This is what I have, what I want to do is at M28 (table unlock) have z retract to machine ref, table move and lock, z return to tool initial position, then to feed plane, then pick up tool feed IPM and continue own.

 

 

 

this is what I get using what I have

second time found in program

G17

M27

Z7.4415

G1 Z6.9415 (don't know why feed was not out put here)

 

also can anyone tell me what this ( ' )does when used in 'sgplane

 

and if I use "gcode=save g_code does that save all G codes in this paticular toolpath.

 

I don't know jack **** about posts and what I have learned has just been through (change post and see what the changes did to the program)

 

Thanks

2nd feed did not come out because you probably used the same feed rate and it is the same tool. I would look in the pretract part of the post to do what you are after. Debug the post and then post up what you got it will help narrow down.
